2012 Whitecaps FC U-23 PDL team representative Navid Mashinchi clinched a 4-2 victory for the T-Birds against Fraser Valley Cascades in Chilliwack on Friday night. The Thunderbirds were trailing 1-0 early in the match but Dosanjh scored the equalizer in the 26th minute, which was his fourth goal of the season.

It was a fine outing for another member of this past summer's PDL team. University of Alberta defender Niko Saler provided an assist in the Golden Bears’ comfortable 4-0 win over the University of Northern British Columbia Timberwolves.

On the island, the University of Victoria Vikes racked up their own emphatic 10-0 win over the Timberwolves. ‘Caps alum Jaclyn Sawicki set up one of the goals when she found midfielder Lindsay Hoetzel.

Back south of the border, sophomore goalkeeper Gurveen Clair played 45 minutes and was credited with the win in Washington State’s 2-0 triumph over Hawaii.
